Design Engineering: A Manual for Enhanced CreativityAs with any art, science, or discipline, natural talent is only part of the equation. Consistent success stems from honing your skills, cultivating good techniques, and hard work. Design engineering, a field often considered an intuitive process not amenable to scientific investigation, is no exception. Providing descriptive theory, broad context, |

Page 546 - Heuristic reasoning is reasoning not regarded as final and strict but as provisional and plausible only, whose purpose is to discover the solution of the present problem.
Page 2 - scientia'— having knowledge; — a branch of study concerned with observation and classification of facts and esp. with the establishment of verifiable general laws; — accumulated systematized knowledge esp. when it relates to the physical world; 'theory' is defined as: — the general principles drawn from any body of facts (as in science); — a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle offered to explain observed facts; — hypothesis— an assumption made esp. in order to test...
Page 11 - The engineering method is the use of heuristics to cause the best change in a poorly understood situation within the available resources (p.
Page 532 - This behavior and the state of organization of the body of knowledge may range through: ( 1 ) description of phenomena (natural history phase); (2) categorization in terms of apparently significant concepts; (3) ordered categorization whose pattern may be deemed a model (the evolutionary taxonomy or periodic table phase); (4) isolation and test of phenomena, with implied reproducibility by independent observers; (5) quantification (classical physics phase).
Page 546 - We shall attain complete certainty when we shall have obtained the complete solution, but before obtaining certainty we must often be satisfied with a more or less plausible guess.
Page 549 - theory' is a supposition or system of ideas explaining something, especially one based on general principles independent of the particular things to be explained; a bit of (or sphere of ) abstract knowledge or speculative thought; or the exposition of the principles of a practice — 'theory' as the opposition of 'practice'.
Page vii - ... are organized, and never make an attempt unless you see they hope for victory. It is better to defeat the enemy by hunger than with steel; in such victory fortune counts more than virtu. No proceeding is better than that which you have concealed from the enemy until the time you have executed it. To know how to recognize an opportunity in war, and take it, benefits you more than anything else. Nature creates few men brave, industry and training makes many. Discipline in war counts more than fury....
Page 354 - ... more difficult, influence corrosion resistance and appearance, and lead to scrap. Frequently an interaction between different causes makes recognition and avoidance of casting faults more difficult. Even with careful procedures, the levels of scrap in casting production can vary over wide limits, scrap levels depend on materials to be cast, and forms of castings Casting faults include: faults in shape due to forming errors; shifted cores; fettling errors.
Page 329 - ... low-tech" items is unlikely to employ or even consult a professional engineer There is hardly a need for professional engineering expertise to design a security lock to be fitted to a sliding door in a house, or for a lighting fixture. Mostly, engineering designers tend not to be university graduates. The currently best incorporation of properties in a product is usually called the state of the ort.
